Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Viticultural tradition dating back to the 10th century BC: vinifera seeds found at the Castillo de Montilla; red varieties documented in 1879.
• From 1995, a regional programme drove the conversion to red varieties; the IGP was officially regulated in 2004.

• The heat accelerates ripening and raises berry sugar levels, defining the character of the red and rosé wines.
• The range encompasses rosés, young reds, and aged reds, all produced from red varieties.

• The warm, dry climate accelerates ripening and raises berry sugar levels, directly shaping the composition of the wines.
